Hicky & Kalo make a long awaited return to the label with the ‘Coming Back Home’ EP. ​
​
Bucking the trend of modern artists, Hicky & Kalo made their name for carving out a niche in the underground scene as resident DJs at the one of its kind Stereo Club in Montreal, as well as landing releases on some progressive house top labels such as Mango Alley, onedotsixtwo and Replug. And of course by spreading great music trough their own imprint, Plaisir Sonores.

The EP opens with ‘Coming Back Home’, where a dark groove emerges with spiky bass. Lightening the track, pretty arps dance playfully as heavily effected vocal ad libs add depth. One for the late floors waiting for the sun to make its first appearance of the day. 
‘From Sea to Sea’ continues the trend; deep satisfying low end grooves juxtaposed by breezy arps. A muscular, and ultimately danceable floor filler. 
Finally, the pair lay down some ‘Wisdom’(!), a lighter number with tons of character. Ethereal and uplifting, the groove is richly melodic and hypnotic from the off.

‘It Doesn’t’ keeps the pace up with an uptempo vibe that sets the stage for some firework melodics. Mutating into a monster groove over the first few minutes, melodics add new textures and energy in the mid-section. Serving as a calm oasis, the main break strips back the elements before the final half powers from the blocks. Finally, ‘Donga’ rounds out the pack in style. Never too tough, never too trancey, it grooves along piquing interest with its ebbs and flows. A secret weapon for the summer months

A pair of aces is ready to hit the dancefloors with another brilliant collaboration.

Known intimately for their solo careers, Quivver and Dave Seaman are UK house pioneers who forged their sound on the lush, fertile dance floors of the early '90s. Together, they've taken the world by storm with two incredible mixes for the highly regarded Balance Music imprint. Teaming up in late 2023 for 'Not This Time' on Poker Flat, they are now signed to some well respected labels, including Selador and Warung.

Concieved in the sunny Midlands town of Nuneaton early this year the aptly named 'Cowbells of Nuneaton' kicks off in fine fashion. Bouncy tribal beats, scratchy effects, and a liquid cool bassline give way to a funky cowbell hook and ethereal vocal adlibs. Squelchy acid at the drop hits like a nuclear strike.

'The Promise' takes things much deeper. Whispered voices and sparse tribal drums intensify with airy sonics and panned melodies that draw you in. Reserved and classically sounding, it's a warm, melancholy blanket of audio joy.

A top five tracker from Black 8, the talented Egyptian producer arrives on Sudbeat and oozes of class.
The title track is a sophisticated fairly housey affair, with emotions pouring from its every part, with acoustic guitars and sampled choral vocals meeting warm pads and more, all melting wonderfully into a beautiful warm soundscape of the highest order.
'TNT' takes things a little tougher and darker, as melodics sprinkle over shuffling edged beats, while acidic noises ping around.
'Rising Tide' is a mysterious slab of goodness. As dark meets light, with big phat synths and gnarly tinged sounds meeting luscious pads, while all along teased by long drops and a great groove.
'Once Upon a Time' is a smile inducing piece of electronica, wrapped up in a blanket of dreaminess. We don't need to say any more really.
Closing things up nicely, we have the club mix of 'Once Upon a Time' , and using the elements from the original and adding gated synths and a deep bassline, turns in to a dance floor moment.

Opening the EP with 'Faraway', delicate arps and keys drive the track from the off. Vocal chops add emotive candy while new layers of melodics mid way power the track into peak time.

'Joy' begins deeply. Snappy percussions get the room moving as melodics and a full vocal work on the mind. A perfect example of ebb and flow, this sonic journey will have them screaming for more.

'Trust Me' delves into bumpty Chicago vibes. Wonky and deliberate, the groove is machine funk heaven. Growing throughout the opening section, the broken beat midsection is a joyous, hands in the air e-moment.
